Anne Arundel First Alert - Accidental Shooting at 2600 Block of Annapolis Road (Cindy's?)

[Jim12]

22 service members or vets taking their own lives every day.

Google Platoon 22. It's an ugly truth.

Yes. Terrible.

But it has absolutely nothing to do with the current thread or discussion.

Should I go totally off topic and change the subject to Middle Eastern suicide bombers, for effect?

 

[Jim12]

Right, but I think the original question was if suicide at a gun range happens often.

Yep, suddenly, this thread was hijacked.

 

[Rondeezy]

Friend just texted me. He was there when it happened.

Damn that shits wild. You never know wtf someone is thinking especially at the range. Most ppl are there to enjoy shooting a few rounds but I’ve always worried about some shit like that. Sorry your friend had to deal with that. That’s definitely not something i want in my memory bank.

Serv pro, among others.

Same people who do crime scenes, houses and rooms people die in, etc.

Servpro was who my parents used when my Grandfather did it in his bedroom.

You might consider starting a Platoon 22 thread. Sounds worthy.

Who comes and cleans up the mess after an incident like that?

Good movie

I talked to my friend a little more last night. He said the guy had fired about 20 rounds on his target before the act. He said the guy had rented a .38 revolver from the place.

Up on the shelf ...

I received the R. Bud Dwyer packet he sent out before shooting himself under the chin with a .357 magnum on live TV back in the 80's. OMG the river of blood that streamed from his nose the the exit wound was something. This is terrible for all involved.

I saw a tape of that video

He went down so fast, it was as though he was pulled down

Shiiiiiit..... that's all you had to say.

..... = 'knee grow

After they fix the hole in the roof

Dark humor is like food. Not everyone gets it

22 of what, please? Context is everything.

22 25 of 6 to 4

I hope they don't have that policy. If I'm shooting at an indoor range, it's almost always by myself.

On Target allowed you to go alone and take your own firearm. I guess they figured if you already had a firearm, you had no need to off yourself at a gun range.

Yeah. They do those jobs.

My bud was held hostage by his dad's friend (dude had just murdered his ex wife). Dad's friend ended up shooting himself in front of my bud while the house was surrounded by cops. Bullet hole is still in the kitchen ceiling. Understandably my bud still has PTSD from it.

A good buddy of mine killed himself in his garage about 12 years ago. I was there with the family and some neighbors as we looked around for him. We looked in the house and I still remember vividly his mom's wailing when the neighbor said he found him in the garage. I didn't see him per se, lying there, but I did catch a glimpse of the blood splatter on the block wall above where he lay. Pretty sure it was his .223 that he used.

RIP to my buddy, and my prayers out for anyone at the range who is not impacted by the scene.

Eh ..Body found quickly , but not burden the family to hire ServaPro for inside , or have bad memories of the back deck ?

 

[Biggfoot44]

Made me look it up . Quickly found data incomplete , and data not broken down by that for most states .

The best that's out there is a study by NIH ..Data from 16 states , 2004 - 2015 .

Of overall firearms suicides . shooting ranges were 0.18 % .

IF the trends were consistent nationwide , it would extrapolate to 35/ yr nationwide .

86 % involved rented guns .

Of the remaining 14 % , they included suicides inside cars p parked in the parking lot .

Hahaha i saw that. I actually purchased some silver ones a few years ago and gave one as a door prize at the buckeystown bar meetup.

It’s been a looooong time since I visited and used the shooting lanes at On Target (now Cindy’s of course). I never felt comfortable there and I didn’t shoot there often. Any Joe blow can just walk off the street, rent a gun and start blasting.

This is one of the reasons why I like shooting at the AGC. There is a little better chance of filtering, or vetting the folks to the left and right of you. Membership in a club, range orientation, and I think firearms safety is more consciously observed by all there.

My younger brother is an accomplished Texas Holdem player and he uses one of those coins as his card protector.

Once I am recovered from my surgery, I can do your range safety orientation. I am a certified instructor for MSI members at AGC.

Crazy thing is this is the second friend that has witnessed something like this. Other was a good friend in Boca Raton that was at his local range when it happened a few years back. He was lucky not to have witnessed the actual event but still a tough one. I was in town and almost went with him that day but was visiting my parents and had other plans.
